A Letter from Cynthia Sass

Recently one of my clients (who had dropped two sizes on my Cinch! plan and was wearing a brand new pair of size 6 jeans) told me that she had never lost weight so easily. Cinch! is a 30 day weight loss plan that transforms your life. In Cinch! I’ll teach you exactly what to eat, how much, why, and when. I’ll help you discover and overcome the roadblocks that have held you back in the past, and give you tested tools that will keep you losing pounds and inches. You’ll feel confident about each meal and excited about your options, which include satiating can’t-live-without foods like peanut butter, guacamole, and dark chocolate. After each meal you’ll experience what I call the “Goldilocks effect”—you’ll feel full but not overly full, satisfied, and energized. And the best part is it’s easy! The strategy in Cinch! is simple (hence the name), and the results are real and lasting. Everything you need is within these pages. I invite you to start your journey today. I think you’ll love where you end up and you’ll never look back.

As I share in the book, if you follow the plan I provide in Cinch!, here’s what you’ll achieve:

• Weight loss—up to eight pounds in the first five days and drop a size in the first thirty days
• Increased self-confidence
• Mastery of the tactics proven to keep weight off
• An understanding of the powerful emotions that drive you to eat when you’re not hungry
• Better health, including a surge in energy

And finally, as an incentive to jump-in and give Cinch! a try, I wanted to share one of my favorite recipes on the plan. I think you’ll find it hearty and delicious, and not at all what you expect from a diet plan. If you like this, Cinch! contains a month’s worth of similarly satisfying meals!

Mediterranean Shrimp Pizza

• Produce: 1 cup baby spinach; ½ cup each chopped red bell pepper and chopped onion; and 4 sun-dried tomatoes, minced
• Whole grain: ½ whole-grain pita, sliced widthwise, not lengthwise (slice along edge of round)
• Lean protein: 3 ounces cooked baby shrimp
• Plant-based fat: 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• SASS: ½ teaspoon minced garlic and ½ teaspoon Italian herb mix

Preheat the oven to 450˚F.

Lay the pita, outer side facing up, on a piece of foil and rub with half the olive oil. Sauté the spinach, peppers, and onions with the garlic, herbs, and the remaining olive oil. Top pita with the spinach mixture and then the shrimp, and garnish with the minced sun-dried tomatoes. Bake at 450˚F for five to eight minutes.
